Welcome to Holland

This was sent to us by a parent who received it from a family member in the months after the initial diagnosis. Although the prose talks about a child with a disability and we don’t think of CF as being a disability, it has some lovely thoughts in it about being able to readjust the expectations you had about your child who has just been diagnosed with a slightly different kind of life. It reminds us that we will all learn to overcome the shock of the initial diagnosis and slowly begin to appreciate that it’s not a worse life, just a different one and one that understandably, takes some getting used to.
